M5 M10 Stainless Steel Metal Thumb Screw SUS304 SUS316 Spade head
Knurled thumb screw Custom size
Product Description:
Hand screws (sometimes written thumbscrews) are multi-purpose fasteners designed to be tightened and loosened manually without the need for tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches for installation. They have a wide range of useful applications, especially in parts, materials and structures that do not easily support the use of hand or power tools. This is often due to space constraints.
Hand screws and thumb bolts may also be useful solutions in situations where you may need to remove components or panels on a regular basis. They can make tasks such as maintenance or cleaning quicker and easier than using mechanical screws, bolts or rivets that are fully tightened with a driver.
Various types of fasteners and fixings may fall under the broad definition of hand screws. True hand screws or bolts can be distinguished from standard bolts or rivets by their large heads, which provide an easier grip. They have knurled edges around the head to further improve friction and grip when turned by hand. They may have a screwdriver slot in the head if desired. Washers are usually not required to use this type of fastener.
Knurled Hand Screws
Knurled hand screws are often chosen because they give the user a
better grip during manual installation.
These types of knurled bolts and screws are called knurled because of the knurling pattern found around the head of the screw - a series of ridges or bumps formed by machining. Knurling is a widespread manufacturing technique used to improve grip or torque forces between various components and fasteners that are manually installed.
Knurled head hand screws are one of the common applications of this technique and can be found on many stainless steel or nylon nuts, screws and bolts. The pattern of bumps, ridges, or grooves allows for better finger friction against otherwise smooth edges when tightening hand screws.
Applications:
Stainless Steel:
1, the basic knowledge of stainless steel
Stainless steel is an alloy material with corrosion resistance, and
its main components are an alloy of elements such as iron, chromium
and nickel. These elements can effectively resist oxidation and
corrosion, so that stainless steel has a high degree of durability
and aesthetics.
2, stainless steel maintenance methods
Cleaning
Keeping stainless steel products clean is an important part of
their maintenance. You can use mild detergents and soft cloth for
cleaning, avoid the use of detergents containing acidic and
alkaline components, so as not to damage the surface of stainless
steel. When removing dirt, you should try to avoid using irritating
cleaning tools to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface.
After cleaning, rinse with water and dry with a clean soft cloth.
3, the use of stain remover
For some stubborn dirt, you can use special stainless steel stain
remover for cleaning. But before using it, you should carefully
read and follow the instructions in the product manual. In
addition, stainless steel products on the dirt can be cleaned with
alcohol or vinegar, these common cleaners on stainless steel has a
certain decontamination effect.

201, 304, 316 are austenitic stainless steel, according to the
performance of the non-magnetic, some of the performance of the
weak magnetic because of the smelting of the composition of the
segregation or improper heat treatment leads to the austenite in a
small amount of martensite or ferrite. Austenitic stainless steel
corrosion resistance comes from the formation of chromium oxide
protective layer on the metal surface. When the material
temperature is heated to 450 degrees -900 degrees, the structure
changes, will form chromium carbide along the edge of the crystal
and can not form a protective layer of chromium oxide, thus
reducing the corrosion resistance, this is also known as
‘intergranular corrosion’. As a result, there are 304L and 316L,
the two due to the low carbon content also reduces the
intergranular corrosion. In particular, the higher susceptibility
to intergranular corrosion does not mean that non-low carbon
content is more susceptible to corrosion, in a highly chlorinated
environment, this susceptibility is also higher.
304 stainless steel
304 is a general-purpose stainless steel that is widely used to
make equipment and machine parts that require good all-round
performance (corrosion resistance and formability). In order to
maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel, the
steel must contain more than 18% chromium, more than 8% nickel content. 304 stainless steel is a grade of
stainless steel produced according to the American ASTM standard.
A2 stainless steel and A4 stainless steel, A2 is a class of 304 stainless steel, A4 is a class of 316 stainless steel, the main difference between the two is here, some of the fastener industry will be 302HQ and 304 referred to as: A2, 316 and 316L (C content of carbon C is less than 03% of the stainless steel, you can increase the ‘L’ logo) called A4.
What is the difference between a270 and a470 stainless steel bolts Nuts are usually used in conjunction with bolts. Hexagonal nuts are more widely used.C-grade hexagonal nuts are used in steel structures, machinery and equipment with rough surfaces and low requirements for precision.A-grade and B-grade hexagonal nuts are mainly used in machinery and equipment with smooth surfaces and high requirements for precision.
